I'm in the garden!

On one of the very first days of real summer I got a crazy itch to build an herb garden box. I had some firewood hanging around that looked perfect!

I caved however on growing my own plants. I just couldn't keep my starts alive this year.

Anyways...i got some rosemary, sage, silver tyme, peppermint, and queen siam thai basil which is amazingly hearty!

I planted the rosemary, thyme, and sage in the box because all of those are similar in their woodiness. Peppermint, for those who dont know is extremely EXTREMELY INVASIVE. it can easily take over a small herb plot. My suggestion is to keep it in a pot. So it can overgrow itself. Ive put it in my water bottle and it is so refreshing!

The thai basil is hearty for basil but i chose to keep it inside in the window sill. Im sure that the outside heat wouldnt be good for it.

Grand total? $11.50 for herbs. Dirt and wood i had on hand but it was about $10 for that. So all in all not that bad! And these herbs are going to last a good while. I love rosemary for soup, thai basil for vietnamese sandwiches abd noodle bowls i think it could even hold up on a pizza or pesto!

I love herbs!

I came out to see my lovely rosemary had been dug up and unpooted by my roomy's cat. Oi vey this cat is killing me. But its all good.

Have a beautiful day dear readers!
Cheers
